Abstract
A Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) forming an enhanced fingerprint module is disclosed. The PCBA includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), an image sensing chip, at least one electrode and a protection layer. An opening in a first insulation layer and a second insulation layer of the PCB together form a sensor portion so that the image sensing chip can be packaged in the opening. Thus, the thickness of the enhanced fingerprint module can be thinner than other fingerprint modules provided by the conventional package methods.
Description
- The present invention relates to a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA). More particularly, the present invention relates to a PCBA with an image sensor mounted thereon, forming an enhanced fingerprint sensing module.
- A silicon chip, or Integrated Circuit (IC), is the core element of an electronic device and usually comes in packaged form. With the development of manufacturing technology and requirement of compact design for end products, various packaging methods were invented to meet the demand. Generally, silicon chips are sealed within a protective material such as a molding compound. There are certain cases, particularly when the silicon chip is a sensor device such as a fingerprint sensor chip embedded in a cellular phone or smart card, that the silicon chip needs to be mount on a substrate and has a surface exposed. Meanwhile, for a fingerprint reader device, the thickness of the packaged sensor must be reduced, and the surface should be maintained flat whenever possible. Several techniques, such as wire bonding, flip chip, and other non-conventional packaging methods, are used to package a fingerprint sensing chip now. However, none of them meets all the requirements: flatness of the top surface, thickness of the package, rigidness between the fingerprint sensing chip and the package material, and good circuit connectivity.
- Conventional wire bonding is sometimes used to address the above requirements. Please refer to
FIG. 1 . Achip 1 in form of a die is mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 2. There aremany bonding pads 3 on one surface of thechip 1. Someconnectors 4 are arranged on thePCB 2. By wire bonding, gold oraluminum wires 5 are formed to link therelated bonding pads 3 and theconnectors 4. In order to fix thechip 1 to thePCB 2, a layer of adhesive (not shown) may be applied on the interface between thechip 1 and thePCB 2. In general, the height of thegold wires 5 over thePCB 2 will occupy certain space above the chip surface. Moreover, when thechip 1 and thewires 5 are sealed in molding compound to protect the circuit while maintaining a flat surface, the molding compound above the chip must be thicker than the height of thebonding wires 5. The extra sealing material above the sensing surface will cause significant performance degrade. For the electronic devices whose thickness and surface flatness are much concerned, apparently, the wire bonding for thechip 1 and thePCB 2 is not appropriate. - Flip chip technology is another widely used packaging method for interconnecting between a die and a PCB. Processing a flip chip is similar to the conventional IC fabrication, with a few additional steps. Please refer to
FIG. 2 . Around the end of the manufacturing process, theattachment pads 12 of achip 11 are metalized to make them more receptive to solders. It typically consists of several treatments. Small dots ofsolder balls 13 are then deposited on eachmetalized pad 12. Thechips 11 are then cut out of a wafer as normal. To attach the flippedchips 11 onto aPCB 14, the chip (die) 11 is inverted to bring thesolder balls 13 down ontoconnectors 15 on theunderlying PCB 14. Thesolder balls 13 are then re-melted to produce an electrical connection, typically using a thermosonic bonding or alternatively using a reflow solder process. This also leaves a small space between the chip's circuitry and the underlying mounting surface. In most cases, an electrically-insulatingadhesive 16 is then underfilled to provide a stronger mechanical connection. However, to provide good circuit connectivity and rigidness, the size of thesolder balls 13 cannot be reduced. Moreover, the difference in height between the top surface of thechip 11 and that of theunderlying PCB 14 cannot be removed when the flip chip technology is applied. Therefore, the flip chip technology is not a proper packaging method for thickness and surface flatness is concerned. - U.S. Pat. No. 7,090,139 of Kasuga et al. discloses a smart card including a fingerprint sensor attached to a thin wiring film, and having a window or opening above the sensing surface to expose the sensing surface. The fingerprint sensor is sandwiched by two substrates, and the electrical connection between the sensor and the wiring film is achieved by anisotropic conductive films. Certainly, an obvious step, caused by the height of the substrate above the sensor and the height of the anisotropic conductive film, exists between the top surface of the smart card and that of the sensor. Thus, even though the smart card packaging method provided by Kasuga et al. meets the thickness requirement of a smart card, a flat top surface cannot be achieved.
- A packaging of a fingerprint sensor and a method thereof, such as disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 8,736,001, is shown in
FIG. 3 . Thefinger sensor 30 includes asubstrate 35, afinger sensing IC 34 mounted on thesubstrate 35, andbond wires 32 coupling thesubstrate 35 and thefinger sensing IC 34. Thefinger sensing IC 34 includes a finger sensing area on an upper surface thereof Thefinger sensor 30 includes anencapsulating layer 33 encapsulating thefinger sensing IC 34 and covering the finger sensing area. Theencapsulating layer 33 includes arecessed portion 37 for receiving the finger of the user. Theencapsulating layer 33 also includes aperipheral flange portion 38 on thesubstrate 35 and surrounding thefinger sensing IC 34 and thebond wires 32. Thefinger sensor 30 includes abezel 31 on theencapsulating layer 33. Thebezel 31 may be coupled to circuitry to serve as a drive electrode for driving the finger of the user. Thefinger sensor 30 includesconductive traces 36 on thesubstrate 35 for coupling thebezel 31 thereto. Thebezel 31 may comprise a metal or another conductive material. In some examples, ESD protection circuitry may be coupled to thebezel 31. That thebezel 31 is affixed on an uppermost surface of the encapsulating material (at the level higher than that of the highest point of the bond wire) means that a step between the surface of the sensing area and top surface of the bezel is subject to the loop height of the bond wire, which is around 100 μm in normal cases. Thus, the usage of thebezel 31 may protect the finger sensingIC 34 from mechanical and/or electrical damages, thebezel 31 is not suitable for the products that are needed to be flat and/or thin, such as a smart card or a smart phone. - Also, U.S. Pat. No. 8,933,781 of Desnoyers et al. discloses additional electrically conducting surface parts positioned adjacently to the sensitive surface of the sensor in a smart card to enhance the signal received by the fingerprint sensor. No particular method of the connection between the sensor and the circuit in the smart card mentioned implies some conventional linkage method is used. Using conventional linkage method and the lack of emphasis on the flatness of the packaging implies that not only the flatness of the top surface but a thicker protective coating layer for ESD is the purpose of '781.
- Both the bezel mentioned in U.S. Pat. No. 8,736,001 and the electrically conducting surface mentioned in U.S. Pat. No. 8,933,781 are exposed to environment. Although the bezel combines the driving electrode with ESD protective circuitry, it is still an exposed element. There are two disadvantages. First, size of the human body makes an antenna like device that can pick up radiation signals which may interfere with the fingerprint sensing function. Secondly, from the industrial design point of view, exposed conductive material, such as a reflective metal surface, may not be the choice of the designer, i.e. the designer may want to choose any suitable color or grain.
- Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 8,736,080 of Arnold et al. discloses a low profile integrated circuit assembly which comprises: an integrated circuit, a substrate where the integrated circuit is disposed on, a conductive layer disposed in the signal trench and coupling to an integrated circuit signal pad, a bond wire configured to couple the conductive layer to an external pad. The substrate comprises at least one signal trench which is proximate to the integrated circuit signal pad and extending to one edge of the substrate. The bond wire, the at least one signal trench and the conductive layer are formed below a surface plane of the integrated circuit. This method successfully reduces the height of the package, and further provides a flat top surface. This method may provide an Integrated Circuit assembly having a flat top surface. However, the manufacturing processes, involving a deep etching step to form the trench and an additional metal plating step to form the conductive layer, require more manufacture time and additional cost.
- Therefore, a low-cost and improved PCBA structure with a flat top surface, an embedded signal transmitting part(s), and a chip, especially a fingerprint sensor chip, mounted on a PCB over an opening is still desired. More particularly, both the embedded signal transmitting part(s) and the chip are sealed under a single protection layer which forms a flat top surface.
- This paragraph extracts and compiles some features of the present invention; other features will be disclosed in the follow-up paragraphs. It is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
- In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) forming an enhanced fingerprint module is disclosed.

FIG. 4 toFIG. 13 .FIG. 4 is a top view of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). The PCBA includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 100 and animage sensing chip 200. There are many image sensing chips can be used. In this embodiment, theimage sensing chip 200 is a fingerprint reader. Theimage sensing chip 200 may further includes a metal grid (not shown) formed inside, for providing ESD protection for itself Please notice that the sketches in the drawings may not be made according to the proportion. They are used for illustration only. Theimage sensing chip 200 may occupy less space than thePCB 100 in the PCBA. It should be noticed that inFIG. 4 , a cross-sectional line AA′ is marked. For a better understanding, the cross section cut by line AA′ is used for illustration in some following drawings. - Since the PCBA works as a fingerprint reader module, the
PCB 100 has several key parts. Please seeFIG. 6 ,FIG. 6 is a side view of the PCBA along the cross-sectional line AA′ inFIG. 4 . The key parts are a first electricallyconductive layer 110, afirst insulation layer 120, a second electricallyconductive layer 130, asecond insulation layer 140 and a third electricallyconductive layer 150 shown in sequence from top to bottom inFIG. 6 . The first electricallyconductive layer 110 forms a first specific circuit on a portion of a top surface of thefirst insulation layer 120. As one can see, the first electricallyconductive layer 110 shown inFIG. 6 is in form of discontinuous conductors. The conductors are made of copper or other metals, such as alloys. Although the conductors are not connected to each one in the cross section, they are linked to form the first circuit when the first electricallyconductive layer 110 is taken out from thePCB 100. Circuit layout is a common technique. It is not described here. It should be noticed that the second electricallyconductive layer 130 and the third electricallyconductive layer 150 have similar structure and are illustrated in the same way. In addition, an electrical link between the first electricallyconductive layer 110 and the second electricallyconductive layer 130, or that between the second electricallyconductive layer 130 and the third electricallyconductive layer 150 can be achieved byvias 160. - The first electrically
conductive layer 110 contains both the first specific circuit and at least oneelectrode 111. Please refer toFIG. 4 ,FIG. 6 andFIG. 8 . Thecontacts 112 are formed from the first specific circuit and around an opening 122 (please refer toFIG. 8 ), and are used to electrically connect to thebonding pads 220 in theimage sensing chip 200. There is oneelectrode 111 in the embodiment and it is formed around theopening 122 in the first electricallyconductive layer 110. Function of theelectrode 111 is to provide an excitation signal to an object which has a detected surface being detected by theimage sensing chip 200. The shape of theelectrode 111 may vary. For example, theelectrode 111 is a metal ring as shown inFIG. 4 . It can also be a metal frame enclosing theopening 122. According to the spirit of the present invention, the number of theelectrode 111 is not limited to one and theelectrode 111 can be close-to theopening 122. In another embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , there are twoelectrodes 111 in the form of metal strips parallel to each other. - Please refer to
FIG. 7 . According to the present invention, theimage sensing chip 200 has a low-power design with a wake-up function. When the approach of anobject 500 is detected by theimage sensing chip 200, theimage sensing chip 200 wakes up and an excitation signal is sent to theobject 500 which has a detectedsurface 510 being detected by theimage sensing chip 200 through theelectrode 111. In this embodiment, theimage sensing chip 200 is a fingerprint reader sensor chip. Thus, theobject 500 refers to a finger while the detectedsurface 510 contains a fingerprint. - The excitation signal is a capacitively coupled excitation signal sent out from the
image sensing chip 200 to theobject 500 through theelectrode 111. The total area of the electrode(s) 111 should be large enough to provide sufficient signal intensity. Preferably, the total area of the electrode(s) 111 is larger than 20 mm2. In addition, the capacitively coupled excitation signal may reduce the interference of signals at low-frequency (around 60 Hz), further reducing the noise of the output signal of theimage sensing chip 200, and prevent theimage sensing chip 200 from malfunction. - The
first insulation layer 120 is used to separate the first electricallyconductive layer 110 from the second electricallyconductive layer 130. Meanwhile, thefirst insulation layer 120 also provides enough hardness to thePCB 100, preventing from breaking off. Thefirst insulation layer 120 has the opening 122 (please refer toFIG. 8 ) formed therein. The second electricallyconductive layer 130 forms a second specific circuit on a portion of a bottom surface of thefirst insulation layer 120 and a portion of a top surface of thesecond insulation layer 140. - The
second insulation layer 140 basically has the same functions as thefirst insulation layer 120. It is formed below the second electricallyconductive layer 110. Asensor portion 170 is formed on thePCB 100 by combining theopening 122 in thefirst insulation layer 120 and thesecond insulation layer 140. The third electricallyconductive layer 150 forms a third specific circuit on a portion of a bottom surface of thesecond insulation layer 140. - The
image sensing chip 200 has a number ofbonding pads 220 on its top surface. Theimage sensing chip 200 is fixed in the sensor portion 170 (the opening 122) with eachbonding pad 220 connected to one correspondingcontact 112. Theimage sensing chip 200 also has asensing area 210 facing up to external environment after theimage sensing chip 200 is fixed in thesensor portion 170 of thePCB 100. - The PCBA further includes a
protection layer 300. Theprotection layer 300 forms a flat top surface of the PCBA over theimage sensing chip 200 and theelectrode 111. Please seeFIG. 6 again. Theprotection layer 300 forms over some or all portions of the top surface of thefirst insulation layer 120 and that of the first electricallyconductive layer 110, and on thesensing area 210 of theimage sensing chip 200. Theprotection layer 300 also covers theelectrode 111 to insulate theelectrode 111 from theobject 500, such that the signal sent out from theelectrode 111 is capacitively coupled to theobject 500. Theprotection layer 300 is formed by an electrically non-conductive material. Preferably, the electrically non-conductive material is epoxy resin. Theprotection layer 300 can be also made by organic coating material. - For linkage of some components mentioned above, there are many suitable ways. For example, the
bonding pad 220 and thecorresponding contact 112 are connected by an electricallyconductive material 402. Preferably, silver paste is used as the electricallyconductive material 402 for its conductivity. In practice, the electricallyconductive material 402 can be a copper paste, nickel paste (thermal cured conductive paste) or even a solder paste. In addition, thebonding pad 220 and thecorresponding contact 112 may be connected by metal plating. The electricallyconductive material 402 is printed on the area between eachbonding pad 220 and thecorresponding contact 112, over the top of eachbonding pad 220 and that of thecorresponding contact 112. Besides, gaps between sidewalls of thefirst insulation layer 120 and peripherals of theimage sensing chip 200 are filled by an electricallynon-conductive material 404. Epoxy resin is a good choice for the electricallynon-conductive material 404. The electricallynon-conductive material 404 can assist to fix theimage sensing chip 200 into theopening 122 while no more current leakage may occur. - According to the present invention, the shape of the
first opening 122 is similar to that of theimage sensing chip 200 but large enough in size so that theimage sensing chip 200 can be allocated in theopening 122. This is to reduce the risk that theimage sensing chip 200 may slide when a finger exerts force. A step gap between a level of the top surface of theimage sensing chip 200 and that of thefirst insulation layer 120 and/or the first electricallyconductive layer 110 after theimage sensing chip 200 is fixed in thesensor portion 170 is less than 0.1 mm. Thus, theprotection layer 300 can be attached well without being torn off due to a large step gap. - The PCBA has a procedure to manufacture. Please refer to
FIG. 8 toFIG. 13 at the same time.FIG. 13 is a flow chart of the procedure for manufacturing the PCBA according to the present invention.FIG. 8 toFIG. 12 are used to illustrate steps in the procedure. - First, provide the
PCB 100 having thesensor portion 170, at least oneelectrode 111, a number ofcontacts 112 and animage sensing chip 200 having a number of bonding pads 220 (S01). Then, glue thesensor portion 170 with the electrically conductive material 400 (S02). Next, place theimage sensing chip 200 into thesensor portion 170 with the sensing area faced up to face the external environment (S03). Afterwards, fill the gaps with the electrically non-conductive material 404 (S04). For the next step, form circuit patterns linking associatedbonding pad 220 and contact 112 by electrically conductive material 402 (S05). Finally, form theprotection layer 300 over the top surface of thefirst insulation layer 120 and the sensing area 210 (S06). - While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
